CHEMESE JOE.
Relic of a Man Who Made All
YOlO County Fear M i'm.

In an old and dusty corner OF the
"trash" room at the court house may
be seen a rifle of an old pattern, eaten
with rust, and worthless from long
disuse. 1t is of large callber, probably
A, shoots but a single time, and is
about the size of an ordinary target
gun. Still tale hangs to that rusty
weapon, and could it speak it would
doubtless tell of more than one
hapless wanderer on the plains
of Yolo sent to his last
rest by lead belched from its
The gun belongs, or did be-
long years ago, to Thomas Whalen, or
better known to all old settlers as
"Chemese Joe." This man lived in
the tules up where Dunnegan now
stands. some fifteen years ago. He
was crazy and murderously inclined,
and therefore no attempts were made
toward his capture, though it was well
known that he committed many crimes
of greater or less Importance. He
was poacher and thief of the most
pronounced type, but whether he
was murderer or not no one posi-
lively knows, although there were one
or two mysterious disappearances"
of travellers through Joe's domain.
He was always regarded as a terror,
and was ''bug aboo" of the children
in those days, the simple assertion
that "Chemese Joe" would get them
being sufficient to quell the most
rebellious youngster. Joe kept up
his depredations for a long
time, but finally was captured.
He made a desperate assault
to murder and rob a traveller, but
failed. This aroused the people OF the
county, and, together with officers, a
number surrounded Joe's hut in the
tules and captured him, though not
without struggle. He was locked up
in Jail, declared insane, and on Jan
uary 18th, 1875, was sent from Wood
land to the Stockton Asylum, where
he now is, dreaming, no doubt, OF his
free life in the forests OF Yolo County
tules The rifle in the Sheriff's office
was Joe's favorite weapon, though in
his hut were found a score OF
guns and pistols, doubtless the prop
erty of men he had robbed and per,
haps murdered. The stock OF the
rifle is broken, this being done in his
final fight for liberty. He struck a
murderous blow at one of his pursuers
with the dubbed gun, and, missing
his mark, struck tree and the stock
was broken. Numerous curiosity
hunters have asked Tor the gun, but
they are alwars refused, and the piece

Probable Shortage of Lemons.

The cholera in its ravages in the
Mediterranean region is seriously in
hiring the export traffic i'll semi-tropi-
cal fruits. Last year the raisin in
dustrv was affected, and it is now
telegraphed from New \ ork that the
usual supply of Sicily lemons may be
cut off. The report is that advices
from Sicily state that the cities of
Palermo and Messina are depopulated
in consequence of the cholera, and as
vessels coming from there would
probably undergo long quarantine,
there is likely to be a suspension of
traffic between Sicily and other ports.
The new crop usually comes to hand
the last of October, but there are some
in the trade who predict no fruit from
Sicily will be shipped until toward the
close of the year. In the mean time
trade will be forced to operate only in
Malaga goods, but the quantity Of
these is SO small that an early disap.
pearance of stock is predicted. The
crop usually runs to about 100, ,00(
boxes. To-day there are afioat fol
this country 1000 boxes, thus leav
ing only 10000 boxes as the supply tC
meet the entire wants of Europe an(
America.
These facts may effect the value o
our improved lemons by increasing
their value here. Our product is tot
small to cut much of figure in ship
ment, but if the cutting off of tn,
Sicily fruit will teach Californian
that it is afIectation for them to pur
chase Sicily fruit, it will produce
good effect and encourage our grower
| to give more attention to the severo
good varieties which are now to b
had here. We have not begun to d

for him to be cured. While living in
Boston, Mass. he joined the Methodist
Church. Never having been baptised
he was at loss to know what name
to opt, but after making it a sui I.
ject of prayer he took the name of
Boston, in honor of the place of his
conversion. He was always undis-
ciplined and erratic. Soon after he
killed Booth, Corbett received an
anonymous letter purporting to le
written by a Confederate officer,
threatening Corbett's life. He really
believed that the threat would be
carried out, and the matter weighed
30 heavily upon his mind that he
became partially crazed. He believed
that Southern sympathizers were fol-
lowing him, and to this day he main
taines that friends of John Wilkes
hope OF getting away from his imag-
mary pursuers that he came to Kan
sas. So effectually did he conceal
his identity that it was several years
before it was known in Kansas that
he was the slayer of Booth. For
several years past he has been SUBJ
ject to crazy spells, but never did any
harm. During his residence in Kan
sas he has carried a revolver with him
night and day, so that he might be
prepared to defend himself should he
be discovered by the imagined
avengers of Wilkes Booth. One of
his peculiarities was his pronounced
opposition to secret society. By some
means he learned that Booth was a
member of secret societies, and he
believes that the members of that
society are pledged to avenge their
brothers. death. He has resided on a
farm in Cloud County for several
years past, living in a log hut, and
with scapt allowances of food and
clothing. About one year ago he was
delegate to the Republican County
Convention. While the convention
was in progress Corbett was sized with
one of his spells, and advancing to the
platform he pointed pistol at the
chairman, demanded silence, and
proceeded to offer prayer When he
had concluded his prayer he ordered
the convention to proceed. Corbett
was appointed doorkeeper of the Kan
sas House of Representatives last
winter. His conduct in the early
part of the session was all right, but
one day toward the latter part of the
session, while the house was in the
widest of heated discussion, he
created CONSERVATION by appearing in
the speakers stand, and drawing
from under his coat large revolve,
he declared the House adjourned. He
was sent home, and has since lost his
mind altogether.-[St. Louis Repub-

Danger of Damp Cellars.

The Importance OF having dry cell
lars cannot be too strongly urged up
on the people. We recently visited an
afflicted family at Ptehnix park. near
Pottsville, Pa, where five members of
the family were i'll with typhoid dis
ease, and two had died, making seven
cases in all We made a very thorough
examination of thisShouse, had the
drinking water anaiyZed. and were
forced by exclusion to the conclusion
that the sickness in this case was
caused by a damp cellar. Astream
from a worked out mine kept the To-
cality marshy and the cellar wet. To
obviate this a drain had been run
from the cellar to aneighboring creek.
This drain had been stopped, and
some inches OF water had accumulated
in the cellar. NS5 i4S 3
Had this family known that Wna-
mite was in the cellar they would. not
have slept easily until was sremoYe
but with this insidious foe to life d =,
health. they ate and slept contentedi
until the favorite child, boy of /.
was taken i'll and died. Then, sns
pectine the damp cellar. the drain was
cleaned out, but it was too late. the
mischief was done, the family was in
fected, and all OF the children had the
disease. AS looked at the bereaved
and saddened mother, I could but
pity her want OF knowledge. that had
brought such affiictlon. The doctor
could not cure, but the parents could
have prevented. Do not live in q
damp cellar an hour.-Annals Of Hy-i

the saw, which cut a groove right
through bis hair. over his forehead
and face and down into his throat,
When he was taken out his lace was
one mass OF bleeding flesh. They laia
him on the grass and brought a surf

across the fields to the spot where the
man had left Marshall he heard his
voice saying, as well as the wounds
would permit: t'Shove this stuff away

hardyFerns for Shady Places.

From the Prairie Farmer
There are many places where ferns
will do capitally, and if grouped in a
pleasing manner, attract much atten-
ton. Places too shady for most flow
ering plants may be readily utilized
with ferns. In our suburban country
homes, one side Of each street running
east and west is in the shade, and as
very often this is not suitable tor flow
ering plants, it may be advantageous
ly filled with q group OF hardy ferns.
Some Of our native ferns are very
beautiful, and one need only to 90 out
in the woods and lift some Of the large
old turis and transfer them to where
ever they are wanted in the grounds.
Ferns delight in a soil containing a
good bit Of decayed leaves or vegeta-
bic mold. For grouping in rockery
of fHroots and stones, the less formal
the appearance the better. Another
feature about ferns is that numbers
OF them Iuxuriate in the shade even OF
trees, where scarcely anything else will
thrive. We have magnificent speci-
men Of the Shield fern, growing in the
angle formed by the house and front
steps, on the Shady sideof the street,
which attracts as much attention as
a glowing bed Of flowers. 1t was OBJ
